Dickens was stage -struck , and he haunted the London theaters. This benefited him a great deal , providing him with inspiration for his writings and experiences that proved useful for his fiction publications , from Oliver Twist onwards. The plot of his story is unavoidably theatrical , to some degree , as a result of the influence of “one of the excellent novelists in Britain. ”Such a great monthly installment “Bentley’s Misscellany”, Dickens novelist did not arrange coincidences in the story without reaction and always kept an eye purposes. ly , we
rather than the one -sided approach.
must Therefore , to understand coincidences correctanalyze them systematically from all sides on the sales figures , for which he drew on the theatrical Background with which Oliver Twist was produced and published.
During his whole life , Dickens produced as many as 15 major novels and countless short stories and articles, most of which he wrote to keep the promises made to publishers. They were published in serial texts , sometimes weekly but usually monthly. Oliver Twist happens to fall in the latter situation -monthly serial publications.
Knowing this is the key to have a deep understanding of these coincidences of the story. Very often he had to hurry to finish his part of the story within a month or sometimes even in less than one week before the next number came out. Indeed , he began to provide installments of Oliver Twist (1837 -1839) for the magazine while still writing Pickwick Papers , and Oliver Twist was not completed until November 1839 , but Dickens had already begun another , entirely different novel , Nicholas Nickleby.
With a rough outline of the plot and characters sketched in advance , he carefully confined himself to limited space of page , strict schedule and a set writing plan. As a retraditions of the melodramas that he had seen in Chatham and London , creating a climax in every number , even changing direction when necessary to keep readers’attention and interest. Thus the magazine installments became the equivalent of stage scenes in which good and evil were starkly opposed. This gave little cause for criticism because we should judge a plot not by whether it is real or not but by what it is meant for. So Dickens , without any hesitation , put coincidences where he thought to be needed to make the story complicated , unexpected and exciting.

To escape the ill -treatment of the undertakers , the foundling Oliver runs away to London alone. On the outskirts of the city , Oliver , who is tired and hungry , happens to meet the pickpocket Jack Dawkins who offers him a place to stay in London. Thus Oliver is thrown together with the band of thieves run by the sinister Fagin. This is exactly what we call “out of the frying -pan into the fire”. It is a coincidence that not only arouses the emotions but also engages the sympath of his readers for the parentless , penniless hero and creates concerns for his future. At the Brownlow home Oliver is treated kindly and, after a period of recuperation , is sent on an errand by Mr. Brownlow to pay a local merchant five pounds and to return some books. On carrying out this charge Oliver happens to be captured by Nancy and Bill Sikes and returned to Fagin’s den of thieves. This small coincidence makes the story no less dramatic. What’s more , Dickens was better at vivid portraits of trifling matters of everyday life , in which lies his artistic charm. Thus he kept us fully attracted and left us thinking of coincidences as true rather than“uneven or contrary to the real life. ” Coincidences embody Dickens’radical ideas Dickens wrote Oliver Twist at the age of 25 , when he was bursting with youthful vigor , imbued with vitality and optimism , which became the main drift and purpose of his literary production to the letter. While ruthlessly from untold sufferings on condition that he is powerful and bold enough to face the reality and fight against the evil forces. His ideas guiding literary creation of this kind encouraged those who were then living in an abyss of misery , and who , consequently , from his novel , saw faintly a streak of light in the dark. Meanwhile he warned his readers of the dangers of degeneration. So the coincidences that Oliver happens to meet his late father’s good friend Mr. 共2页: 1 [2] 下一页 论文出处(作者):
